Dear American libs: Think about what you've been saying about Russians and please start saying all of those about yourselves. Think about how much you wished every Russian to suffer and it's only fair to wish the exact same amount for yourself.

Remember how little you were willing to distinguish between the people and the government and I better not see you give any more leeway to your own country.

I don't want to hear any "but i don't support it" bullshit out of you after the vitriol you spewed about the Russian ethnicity and culture using the Ukraine war as your cover while getting all high and mighty about not being racist. You deserve as much empathy and sympathy as you give to others.

And don't forget to carry seeds in your pockets so useful things grow out of you when you die :)

Latvia bans teaching Russian as second foreign language starting 2026

Jump

HiddenLayer555 @lemmy.ml 1mo ago

Seriously I hate the holier than thou "we['re the only ones that] care about cultural and racial rights" attitude the West has almost as much I hate the actual racism and cultural erasure that goes on here. I hate how people will bend over backwards twisting every fact and theory to justify this as "not about anti-Russian racism" and then in the very next breath twist everything the other way to justify how any amount of criticism of Israel's genocide is "antisemitic."

The "people" vs "government" dichotomy people have is also infuriating. Any Westerner when confronted about the West's atrocities will instinctively say "oh but that's my GOVERNMENT that's like that, I'm just little old John Nobody who didn't get to choose the society I was born into or what the elite of my country does, I don't like it either." Which could be a valid argument if they didn't then go "oh those Russians are all Asiatic orcs, every single one of them personally wants to kill every Ukrainian so punishing average Russians is absolutely the way to punish Putin's war."

They consider incompatible with their values to mandate foreign actors indentify as such.

Lol so they're so incompetent they can't look past "does this guy speak Russian?" In their foreign actor counterintelligence?

This is cartoon level shit, like something you'd see from American Dad. Also they're in for a real surprise when they learn about ~~modern~~ pre Caesar espionage tactics talking about choosing actors fluent in the language of your target.

I've heard reasons for it like "women's bathroom needs places to dispose of pads/tampons but, like, it's a box on the wall. Put one in both.

Also heard reasons along the lines of "men are faster at using the bathroom so why should we need to share with women" (even though with single bathrooms the washing your hands part is the time bottleneck, not the peeing part) or just general disgust at the idea of sharing a bathroom with the other gender (have heard it from both genders).

The GPU, not the TPM, is the root of hardware DRM

HiddenLayer555 @lemmy.ml 1mo ago

I think having a TPM enables a number of worthwhile security features.

But most of those security features place the TPM at the root of trust, something that is SEVERELY undermined by the fact that it is not open source, meaning it is inherently untrustworthy.

Is it not the one chip we should demand and accept nothing less than complete openness in its implementation and complete control by the person who owns the device? I also think the types of protections it grants in theory are very good, but the fact that it's proprietary means it's terrible at actually granting you those protections.

Reside, vacation, party.

Jump

HiddenLayer555 @lemmy.ml 1mo ago

Reside: Vancouver. Biased because I mostly grew up here and am lucky enough to still live here but I really do think it's something special.

Vacation: Probably Qing Huang Dao. Gorgeous Chinese beach city that I've only ever been to twice in my childhood, but it's also really nostalgic for that reason.

Party (hardest one for me because I don't party): Wanted to say New York or Vegas because nothing in Canada really compares to those, but with current events and my skin colour I'm going with Toronto instead. Like to not end up at a concentration camp while partying, but more generally because I know the laws of my own country better than somewhere else which I feel is a benefit if you want to party.

Then that's not Lemmy. That's Voat or any of the other first wave Reddit alternatives.

Not trying to say you don't belong here, but that the cross reference stuff are the foundational principles Lemmy is built on.
